The US Inflation Reduction Act will crowd in more than $3 trillion US dollars of investment over the next decade. The Future Made in Australia Act has been billed as Australia’s response to the US IRA – but are taxpayer dollars better spent elsewhere?

Today, we discuss climate finance and the role of government in de-risking climate investing. And we ask the ultimate question: can the market solve climate change?

To answer this, we are joined by Blair Palese, director of philanthropy at Ethinvest, Australia’s oldest ethical investment firm.

Blair is also the founder of Climate Capital Forum, the global climate editor and managing director at Climate & Capital Media, and co-founded 350.org Australia.

She joins host Rose Mary Petrass, senior journalist at FS Sustainability.
